Have been driving Tacoma for business since 2007. All have been the double cab short bed with TRD Offroad package 4x4.
Generally put about 150,000+ miles on before trading for new.
Change oil and filters at proper intervals and use real gas.
Tires , brakes and batteries are the only things I have had to replace.
Agree that the 3.5 is not as gutsy as the 4.0 but I have a lot of miles on a 2016 without problems.
Great trucks for me and I use them on the road and off on brush control projects.
Mine have held value very well.
